MINNEAPOLIS, MN -- August 13, 2003 -- TeraStorm Software has launched the preview of iHound.com (http://ihound.com), and by doing so has reinvented Internet searching with the world’s first “One-Click-To-Many” search engine. Using TeraStorm Software’s patent pending SpeedSeek® Technology, iHound.com surpasses the capability and results provided by traditional search sites such as Google or “meta-search engines”, by offering users the ability to search over 300 topic specific sites, with a single click. By doing so, iHound helps solve one of the top time wasting issues on the Internet, finding relevant results.

“iHound helps solve one of the most basic and intrinsic Internet functions, which also happens to be one of the most frustrating and time wasting activities; searching for and finding relevant information.”, explains TeraStorm Software President Ben Andersen.

Using iHound is easy and efficient. Users select a category topic they are interested in, such as “General Shopping”. The user is able to select up to sixteen different shopping sources to search, including meta-search shopping sites. With the single click of “Go”, iHound then searches, retrieves and displays the results from every selected source, bypassing the need to jump from site-to-site looking for the best deal or availability. iHound provides a comprehensive and impressive ability to find information from an initial listing of 24 categories; a few examples are Major Search Engines (users are able to select up to sixteen of the Internet’s most broadly used search engines), country and regional search sites, US & International Newspapers, News Headlines, Business & Financial information, and even educational reference.

President Ben Andersen continues, “A normal search with iHound is like visiting sixteen sites, and searching them simultaneously. The amount of time saved using iHound is truly incredible. When users began testing iHound, the feedback we received was overwhelmingly positive. We had some testers getting their job accomplished in 10 less hours. By using iHound they were able to be 10 hours more productive than they were before. Whether at home or at the office, this is what we are striving for with iHound – to search the Internet faster and more efficiently than before.”
